to equate the nra with a kkk is outrageous. i'm no big fan of the nra to suggest they have some racial motive, there is no evidence of that whatsoever. >> bill: you are actually sounding rational tonight. is it the new hair cut? >> i took o'reilly pills. >> bill: more o'reilly pills you can take the better. so even colmes so your brother-in-law colmes, is that better? >> yeah, right. >> admits that this far out whitlock deal is is insane. but it comes back to the fact that even conservative commentators locked in on the gun thing because they didn't like the way costas put it rather than it's personal responsibility, why aren't we holding all of these people. and not just murderers. but you know when your kid does something like smoke pot or get drunk and then well, everyone is doing it and -- then you give them a pass or her a pass. you are just playing into that whole garbage and it just escalates. >> that's right. i think you are hitting on something really important. you are teasing it out to a bigger cultural problem. for

the nra has basically ducked this. but now on friday they say they're going to hold a press conference. that's the worst day of the year. it's the friday before christmas. they're not going to get any play. the nra doesn't want any part of this and their main lobbying group for the pro gun people. when i say pro gun, it's not that they want a lot of guns around. it's just they don't want their rights infringed upon. they want to be able to get whatever hardware they want. but i think and i think you agree with me, that we can tighten up the purchases of guns, particularly heavy weapons like the ar's. we can tighten those up. i would support, for example, anybody owning an ar in america would have to register with the f.b.i., so the f.b.i. would have to know who has these weapons and now people are going well, we don't want to. we believe the government is oppressive and they're going to do this and it's a slippery slope. but i think we have to do things like that. am i wrong? >> i agree with you entirely. look, in 1994
